Application filed September 8, 1914. Serial No.860,775.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, ORVILLE G. HALL1- i BURTON, citizen of theUnited States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas', have invented certain new and useful improvements in Combustion Devices, of which the following is a speciv fication.

rlhis invention relates to new and useful improiv'ements 1n combustlon devices.

The object of the invention 1s to provide p two burner members arranged to be operated either in unison or separately together with means for controlling the amount of fuel oil fed to Ieach member.

Other objects of the invention are, the

- provision of a burner base adapted to set Y pans and preventin flooding of the lire box;

and means for facilitating the vaporizing of theV oil.

Another object of the invention resides in the production of a combustion device posi sessing strength, durability and simplicity;

Sil

llig.. o "l rear burnermember feed pipe.

and designed for minimum wear and arranged to be constructed Aat a minimum expense.

Referring lnow particularly to certain novel features of the invention, an example is described in the following specification and illustrated ir the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a side elevation ofthe combustion device in position in a fire boxpf a stove, component parte of the latter being shown in section, Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device, Fig. 3 is atransverse section teiten the line X-X of Fig. 1, Fig. l is a s @nel 'letail of one of the pans,.and a transverse sectional detail of the ln the drawings the numeral 1 designates a metal base constructed to tit in the fire box of a stovean 'rest on the grate as shown in 1. The base has an elongated cenf teal web 2 connecting its ends 1. Two burner members 3 are mounted on the base and eaph comprises a length of pipe bent to form ll-shaped vaporizer, the i parallel arms 4: and 5 of each member in operative position are disposed horizontally 'and one closed and the valves pipe 9 a wire 21 isdisposed whi h aids in above the other, the lower arm 5 of each bemg provided with a small hole or orifice 6 over which a spreader 7 is mounted on the upper arm 4. I have designated the member 3f* at the left of Fig. 1 as the front burner member and the other as the rear burner member 3.

The vmembers 3 and 3 are supplied by feed pipes 8 and 9, the former leading to the front member and the latter to the rear member. The feed pipes are disposed on opposite sides of the web 2 and each is connectedjto its respective burner member by a vertical, pipe 10 in-Which a union 11 1s included. By means of the unions it is possible to remove the members 3 and 3? without disturbing the pipes. The members are alined on the same side of the web and parallel thereto, the pipe 9 being connected -through the web with its respective pipe 10 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

The burner members being at one side of the web are disposed each over a pan 12 mounted on the web and projecting laterally therefrom. Each pan is located so that the center of each hole 6 and the center of he pan will be 'substantially in a vertical ine.

Each pan has a hopper bottom as is best shown in Fig. 4. From the center of each pan a nipple 14 depends and is` received in the end of a drain pipe 15. The pipes 15 are connected to a pipe 16 extending out of the fire box and having'a valve 17' as shown in Fig. 1. It is apparent that any oil leaking from the burner ymembers when the latter are not in operation will be' caught in the pans and carried off by the pipes 15 and 16 when the valve 17 is open.

rlhe feed pipes 8 and 9 extend through theA 'front end 1a of the base 1 and each is connected to a regulatin valve 18 which is disposed on the outsi e 'of the stove. lIl he valves 18 are connected by a pipe 19 which in turn has connection with a pipe 20. Fuel oil is fed from a reservoir (not shown) by means of the pipe 20. The reservoir or other supply is located above the burner members `i, and 3a, a gravity feed thus being had.

In operating the device the valve 17 is 18 opened. Fuel oil passes from the` pipe 19-into each valve and then into the feed. pip

es 8 Vand 9. In' the 'los the generation of a gas or the vaporization of the oil. The oil fiows from the pipes 8 and 9 through the pipes 10 to the burner members 3 and 3a and out of the holes 6. After a small quantity of oil has accumulated in each pan itis ignited. In a short time the burner members become heated and the oil-therein is turned into gas, a flame being ignited at each hole 6. The pipe 9. will become hot so that the Wire 21 will act toA more evenly distribute the' heat and prevent the llames from overheating said pipe. In

the arms l light Wires 22 are also disposed to distribute the heat and facilitate the op eration of the device. v l

The llames may be deflectedby the spreaders to either side and are equally radiated.

' It will be observed that 'if ydesired either burner member may be operated or both may be used; also that the burner members may be individually controlled and regulated. The base l is very useful as'it supports the parts in fixed relation and can be `placed in the stove Without much labor and alteration of the latter. When the burners are not in use the valve 17 is opened and any drippings-Will be carried 0E, thus preventing flooding of the fire box.

What I claim, is:l )l A 1. The combinationfin a/combustion de` vice, of a supportin base having an elongated central web, eed pipes disposed on each-side of the Web and mounted in the base, 'a pair of burner members mounted on the same side of the base web above the same 'and each connected'to a feed pi e, valves the drain plpe, and a valve located inthe v drain pipe.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence o .two Witnesses. A
